Well-drilling Update

The well-drilling has continued to be difficult, but we finally got one well drilled and lined in the church yard in Deou. Although the water flow is not as high as hoped, it increased significantly over the time we were there, and should help significantly. Samuel and family were really pleased.

We also are replacing two pumps where there is water but the pumps are broken, and the town leaders are really happy.

We have now moved on to Tasmakat.

The first team - from the US - leave tonight. The team from Glenwood Church in Cardiff arrived last night, and we will head back up north at 5.30 tomorrow morning. Please continue to pray for protection, for water, and for a good testimony to be left.

Please pray also for Reid, one of the Canadian FiA team, whose mother has been taken into hospital. Reid is flying back tonight to be with her.

Reid's departure has consequences for the team. Pray for Seydou and Pierre who are still working with Chuck, and for the new team as they learn the work. Pray for me too, as it means I will have to drive one of the big trucks with its trailer. I brought it down across the bush from Deou to Tasmakat okay, but it is not easy getting the thing through holes and narrow bush tracks.

Thank you
